I don't agree with Ish's premise, but I don't think his comment was silly. If LBJ was pursuing the war as an indirect way of pursuing financing for the Great Society by deliberately inflating the economy - it would have nothing to do with the '90's boom.

<<The chromium was for critical parts in ICBMs. The men were not "lost" -- they were wasted. Cannon fodder in LBJ's mad "war." >> <<Bad hypothesis. We didn't need any Vietnam for the 90s expansion... Greenspan was enough.>> My reply - Thanks FT, I didn't know the Vietnam war was in the 90s. Silly me, I thought it was a 60s/70s deal. <<Don't act silly Ish, that is beneath even you...>> I didn't know Greenspan in the 90s was related to Vietnam in the 60s and 70s. Sorry I'm so dumb. Please explain how Greenspan was involved in the Vietnam war.
